There is a small State Bank rot on the polished tables of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, D.C.C. It is Sri Lanka that has given up paying off its international loans and has now asked for help. It will mean great upheavals and a hard horse cure before the country – perhaps-gets back on its feet. Although Sri Lanka is a small country, the misery has major international consequences, because Sri Lanka is the epicenter of a power struggle between India and China.
